Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Whole milk
- 200 g Ricotta cheese
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves, torn
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.
While the tomatoes are roasting, remove the puff pastry sheet from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, score a border about 2 cm (1 inch) from the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create the crust edge as it bakes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the border of the puff pastry with the egg wash.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly within the scored border of the pastry.
Arrange the roasted tomatoes on top of the ricotta mixture. Return the tart to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with torn fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
